Supreme Court adjourns IPOB’s Nnamdi Kanu’s trial till May

The Supreme Court has adjourned the trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu till next month, May 2023.

The Informant247 learned that the Court heard Kanu’s appeal today Thursday April 27.

Kanu on November 3, 2022 brought the issue of his continuous detention by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) before the apex court.

The appeal of the Biafran agitator was filed against the earlier ruling of the Court of Appeal which on October 28, 2022 quashed the earlier verdict which acquitted him of all charges.

The October 28 ruling ordered the release of the leader of IPOB from the custody of the DSS.

The counsel of Kanu, Aloy Ejimajor, before the hearing, appealed to the apex court to maintain justice in the trial, praying that the court case should come to an end today April 27, 2023.

The apex Court however adjourned the matter till next month May 2023.

This was revealed in a tweet by Kanu’s counsel, Ejimakor.

“Sadly, the Supreme Court has adjourned the #MNK appeal hearing to next month,” Ejimajor tweeted shortly after the court’s ruling today.
